Vlaams Blok

The Vlaams Blok (VB), known as the Flemish Block in English, was a Belgian far-right and secessionist party that was founded in 1979. The party was the most notable militant right-wing of the Flemish nationalist movement from its creation, and it supported law and order and Flemish autonomy, while opposing immigration and European Union membership. The party was blocked from entering the government by the other parties of the country, who quarantined the VB after 1989. In 2004, the party was dissolved after a court found that it violated a 1981 anti-racism law and that it sanctioned discrimination.
